Both places where I've lived are at the top of the list, and that would explain (I guess) why so many of my friends get mistaken for 20 years younger than their age. After posting on forums, I came to wonder if I lived in some kind of weird time bubble, or something, but it turns out it's the geography that plays a large role, as well as the usual self-care measures: avoiding sun from an early age, not smoking/drinking, regular exercise, etc.
Sorry, this is just another of those meaningless, worthless lists.... Nothing but click-bait. I just don't put stock in ANY "best" type lists anymore.
Maybe. But it's interesting that Seattle and the Bay Area are at the top, and the explanation for Seattle being there is that the cloudy weather helps prevent skin damage. So what's their explanation for a locale on coastal CA coming in 3rd? Obviously, there's more to it than sun exposure. Besides. cloudy days can be just as damaging sunburn-wise as clear days, so their reasoning is nonsense.
I think some of it has to do with the more active lifestyles and better nutrition/balanced diet on the West Coast.
Don't look their age could also mean older, right ? With the pathetic way people take care of their health here (smoking, drugs, poor diet, teenage pregnancy, prostitution, and so on), I'd add it to the list.
White people in Atlanta look younger than other people in the south, but they look older than people in other parts of the country. I worked in atlanta for just under a year, and my co-workers thought I was 28, ten years younger than I actually was. The other 40 year old guys looked well into their 50s. The southern diet does not do anyone any favors in the aging department.
Of course there are a lot of african americans in Atlanta who look younger than they really are. Like they say, "black don't crack."
That sounds true about most of the South, but what about South Florida? It's rainier there and, I think, more health-conscious.
I don't think people in south florida are very health conscious. Some are very image conscious, but that's a different thing. It's mostly leathery retirees and minorities from latin america.

I do believe ones environment play a major roll in their health, from the water you drink, to the foods you consume and the air you breath, unhealthy lifestyle will reflect on the outward sooner or later..

Sounds like some stereotyping to me. Not lately, but I've been to much of the South, including South Florida, which must still have many young white people and a healthier diet than, for example, Atlanta.
